Foo Fighters star Dave Grohl invites Sydney fan backstage after wild Mentos stunt

Résumé détaillé

Grohl then spotted a fan named Thomas brandishing a packet of the mints in the front row.

A brave Foo Fighters fan became the star of the show at the Foo Fighters stadium gig in Sydney when he bowed to frontman Dave Grohl’s demand to perform the Mentos geyser experiment.

During the rock band’s acoustic set at Tuesday night’s show, Grohl was sharing the long history behind the band’s “Big Me” music video, filmed in Sydney in 1996, which was a parody of a famous commercial by the candy brand.

“I didn’t eat those candies, because after we made this video, people threw those f–king things in my face every night every time we played this song,” he told 60,000 fans at the concert.

Grohl then spotted a fan named Thomas brandishing a packet of the mints in the front rows near the security barrier.

And he was not having Thomas throw the hard sugar bullets at his head.

“Don’t you f–king dare. I’m telling you, don’t be that guy!” the sweary rocker yelled, pointing at the mint man.

“How about this? I’m going to play this song and I want to watch you eat that whole f–king pack of Mentos while I’m playing this goddamn song. Keep the camera on this motherf–ker! If you can finish that whole pack before we’re done playing this song … I’ll chug a beer with you.”

Thomas took up the challenge. Now any citizen scientist, and Dave Grohl, knows that if you drop a Mentos into a carbonated beverage, it causes a sudden explosive eruption of foam.

After emptying the entire cylinder of mints into his mouth, Thomas was projected on the big screens as he spent a couple of minutes chewing the lollies, and then was passed a beer from the stage.
